Is It Likely For Concussion To Last Over A Period Of Time?

i hit my head about a 3 weeks ago, quite hard on a glass shower door, on my forehead above my eye, i did not knock my self out but went to the hospital a week later and was diagnosed with concussion still. I now have a dent there and still feel like i have concussion.

I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

It is unclear though what do you mean by feeling to have a concussion, what symptoms do you have to make you think that. The presence of the dent is not indicative of concussion, it is an external manifestation, doesn't provide any information on what is happening inside the brain.

Speaking in general it is possible for concussion symptoms like headache, fatigue, lack of concentration, sleeping difficulties etc to last for several weeks even months. To say whether that is your case though as I said you should provide more information.

I remain at your disposal for other questions.
